25.01.2022 How much can I borrow with a guaranteed home loan? "Expert Insights A guaranteed home loan is where a person (often a parent or sibling) will offer their property as security to help secure a loan. Some lenders will allow you to borrow 100 per cent of the value of the property with a guaranteed home loan. While this can be useful to help fund the loan, the lender will still need to assess your application so they are confident in your ability to make the repayments."

24.01.2022 It doesn't matter where my deposit comes from "Mortgage Myths If you receive an inheritance or other lump sum, though this can help with your deposit, many lenders also like to see evidence of regular savings to give them confidence you can manage money responsibly and therefore pay back the loan. As there are a lot of varying policies when it comes to assessing a deposit, contact us so we can advise who you will qualify with based on where your deposit has come from."

21.01.2022 2020 was a challenging year leaving an indelible mark on each of our lives. Impacting us in ways we couldn't even think of, having to adopt ways and means of living and working that were not a piece of cake to adapt to. But today, on the first day of the new year, we can only reflect on the things that 2020 taught us cherish each moment of life, not take it for granted, spend time with loved ones, expect the unexpected, overcome, and keep going despite being faced with extraordinary odds. Now' it's time to look forward to a brighter 2021.

21.01.2022 What is the comparison rate? "Expert insights Occasionally, loans can be advertised with a 'cheap rate', even though the true cost of the loan can be a lot more when factoring in associated fees and charges. As the name suggests, the comparison rate makes it easier to compare the true pricing of a loan because it shows a single percentage figure inclusive of the interest rate, fees & charges. That way, it is much easier to compare the pricing of loans from different lenders. As an example only, if a lender offered a loan with an interest rate of 3.79%, but had an annual fee of $500, redraw fee of $50 per occasions and a monthly service fee, then the 'comparison' rate could mean the 'real price' of the loan is equivalent to an interest rate of 3.98%."

19.01.2022 Being pre-qualified means your loan is virtually guaranteed. "Mortgage Myths Lenders must issue an unconditional approval to be sure they will lend you the money. Pre-approved, or pre-qualified, gives you a strong indication of how much you will be able to borrow, and unconditional approval is where the lender has fully assessed and approved your application."

18.01.2022 Lenders keep secret files on my credit history "Mortgage Myths All lenders use a credit reporting system, which is also accessible by you if you visit https://www.mycreditfile.com.au/"

15.01.2022 What is capital gains tax? "Expert insights When it comes to property, Capital Gains Tax, or CGT, is a tax payable on the profit you make with a property. CGT is calculated by subtracting the cost involved in acquiring and holding an asset from the proceeds of the sale of the asset. Any gain made on the sale of a CGT asset is included in your assessable income in the financial year that you sell the asset.... CGT may apply to a home residence if the property is used for income-producing purposes or for the sale of an asset where a contract is involved, such as an investment property."

05.01.2022 Self-employed people automatically pay higher interest "Mortgage Myths If a self-employed applicant can provide all necessary documentation, they can qualify for the same loans as a PAYG person."

04.01.2022 What is an accelerated payment? "Expert Insights An accelerated payment allows you to pay off more of the loan than the minimum set out in the loan agreement, meaning it can help speed up how quickly you pay back your loan."

03.01.2022 What is a revert rate? "Expert insights Home loans with a fixed interest rate will return (revert) back to a standard variable rate at the end of the fixed period unless you decide to re-fix your loan. The revert rate is typically higher than the standard variable rate you could get from the same lender, which is why when reviewing your lending options, it is important to take a 'long-term' view of your options instead of just a 'for now' view, which might otherwise cost you a lot more in the long-term."
